I don’t want to dwell on this, but I ….bla bla bla. ( Ahem.  Yes. this is an edit.  Sorry, aggregator readers– you get the undiluted stupidity, and I can’t help that.  Here I continue with the whine, but listen up because it’s worth your while.)

Sometimes I realize just how naïve and stupid I am– namely, something like this comes along and happens and I realize that unless I slap things like a trademark or a copyright symbol, I cannot keep track of my intellectual property.

Hey internets… the lesson for today is this:

Don’t think that people out there are going to respect you or your ideas.  There are thieves out there.

Don’t cry over stolen ideas: copyright and trademark, and realize that symbols like the © and the ™™™™™ are there for your protection.

Edited to add this:

God, I hate it when I’m whiny.  Seriously, just slap me.

Um…. it snowed today, by the way.  It was really pretty.  Whee!
Okay.  Talk tomorrow, right?  Right.  Byeeeeeee!
